Över 9 000 döda efter halvårs inbördeskrig i Sudan

Över 9 000 döda efter halvårs inbördeskrig i Sudan

Sammanlagt 9 000 personer har mist livet under det inbördeskrig som nu plågat Sudan i sex månader. Det rapporterar AFP och hänvisar till organisationen Acled som bevakar dödsfall i krig. Den verkliga dödssiffran – där dödsfallen inte har bekräftats – tros däremot vara ännu högre. Senast under lördagen dödades tio personer i en paramilitär attack söder om huvudstaden Khartum. Striderna står främst mellan Sudans armé och den paramilitära styrkan Rapid Support Force, skriver TT.

Ytterligare fem personer har skadats, uppger den lokala motståndskommittén, en av hundratals volontärgrupper som samordnar stöd runt om i landet. Tre personer togs som gisslan av RFS efter anfallet norr om staden Kutum, enligt kommittén. Inbördeskriget i Sudan bröt ut i april i fjol, när de tidigare samarbetsparterna inom armén och RSF började att strida mot varandra. Kriget lamslår omfattande delar av landet, men med extra hög intensitet i huvudstadsområdet Khartum och i Darfurregionen.

En tänkbar pristagare är den internationella brottmålsdomstolen ICC och kanske också chefsåklagaren där: Karim Khan. Han och domstolen har har krävt att Hamasledaren Yahia Sinwar ställs inför skranket eftersom han anses vara hjärnan bakom 7-oktober attackerna förra året. Men ICC fick också stor uppmärksamhet när domstolen tidigare i år ansökte om en arresteringsorder för att Israels försvarsminister Gallant och premiärminister Netanyahu. ICC ansåg att de borde gripas på grund av hur gazakriget genomförts. Flera tänkbara pristagare Men det finns förstås fler tänkbara pristagare som under det senare året fått uppmärksamhet för sitt arbete med fred i mellanöstern. ICC ställer enskilda personer till svars medan domstolen ICJ hanterar mellanstatliga frågor. ICJ hamnade i fokus när frågan om huruvida Israel ligger bakom ett folkmord I Gaza adresserades av domstolen. Hjälper i Sudan Fredsarbete utanför Mellanöstern kan förstås också premieras av den Norska nobelkommitten. Det gäller till exempel organisationen Sudans motståndskommittéer som verkat på gräsrotsnivå i krigets i Sudan för att hjälpa människor att överleva. Det skulle isåfall innebära att fredsarbete i ett krig som hamnat i medieskugga bakom Ukraina och Mellanöstern får uppmärksamhet. Vem som än tilldelas priset kommer i vilket fall som helst att bli en symbol för att fred inte kommer "gratis" utan är frukten av kompromisser, en god vilja och hårt arbete. Det gäller i Mellanöstern, i Afrika, ja egentligen globalt.

Akuta läget för Sudans flyktingar än värre av regnperioden

Akuta läget för Sudans flyktingar än värre av regnperioden

Hundratals flyktingar går över ån som markerar gränsen varje dag och väl framme vid lägret registreras de och får en liten plats där de kan bygga en hydda. Lägret är enormt, med runt 200 000 människor. Det står rad efter rad av hembyggda hyddor. Kvinnor går med bebisar på ryggarna eller försöker hitta lite skugga, bort från den brännande solen. Och överallt barn som driver runt och letar efter något att göra. Temporärt läger UNHCR kallar lägret vid Adrè för ett temporärt läger. Man har inget tillstånd från Tchads myndigheter att bygga permanenta strukturer här, och även om det skulle vara tillåtet så gör avlägsenheten det nästan omöjligt. Vägarna är i ett så dåligt skick att lastbilar bara kan komma fram under vissa dagar. Det finns begränsad sjukvård, lite mat och vatten samt några toaletter, men inte mycket mer. Ingen skola, inget för barnen att göra och inga jobb. Enligt Charlotte Hallqvist vill UNHCR förflytta flyktingarna till mer permanenta läger inne i landet. Men det är svårt att få dit bussar och vissa vill hellre stanna vid gränsen till Sudan, så de kan åka hem om det blir fred. Flyr från våld och hunger Men trots att lägret inte erbjuder så mycket, så kommer folk. De är flyktingar som Khadija Alday. Hon är 28 år gammal. Hennes man har dödats i kriget och hon gick över gränsen med sina sex barn. – Jag och barnen har inget att äta. Därför kom vi hit. Vi kommer att stanna här, säger hon till TV4:s utsända. Om kriget inte tar slut snart blir utmaningen att hantera läger som riskerar att bli permanenta. Flyktingar som är fast i limbo, de har inga resurser eller tillstånd för att åka vidare.

111 - The Splintering of Sudan

Sudan is entangled in a rapidly escalating civil war, marked by widespread protests, violent clashes, and an alarming surge in refugees fleeing the turmoil. Amidst this chaos, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) swift advances are now intensifying fears of a potential state collapse, one that would likely plunge the region into chaos. With a fragmented government and military embroiled in enforcing their contentious autocratic rule, Sudan's path to peace appears increasingly precarious. So why are more and more outside actors getting involved here? What happens if the state does collapse, and who is supplying these forces with the means to wage this war? We ask our panel of experts. On the panel this week: - Will Brown (CSIS) - Joe Siegle (ACSS) - Will Carter (Norwegian Refugee Council) Intro - 00:00 PART 1 - 07:03 PART 2 - 29:20 PART 3 - 49:16 Outro - 1:02:37 Follow the show on @TheRedLinePod Follow Michael on @MikeHilliardAus Support the show at: https://www.patreon.com/theredlinepod For more info, please visit: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/

Sudan conflict: A year in review

The fighting that erupted in Sudan on 15 April this year between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), continues unabated. We hear from the BBC's Mohanad Hashim who has been covering the conflict from the start. It is more than a story to him. It involves his homeland, his family, and his compatriots.Also, we meet Idiat Shiole, the 3D virtual fashion designer and creator of multiple AI models, representing a broader range of African women on the virtual catwalk.And a look back at Africa's sporting triumphs in 2023!

Sudan: Why Is There A Conflict?

Fighting has broken out in Sudan following years of power struggle between the country's military leadership: General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the armed forces, and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).However, the origins of this conflict can be traced back to 1956, when Sudan first gained independence from the British-Egyptian Condominium. Since, Sudan has been a country that has tried to establish a civilian, democratic government time and again, but each time has been derailed by a military coup.In today's episode, host James Patton Rogers is joined by the first US Ambassador to South Sudan, Susan D Page, to help make sense of this complex history. From independence in 1956, through to President Omar al-Bashir's 2019 downfall and the 2021 coup, they assess what the history means for events happening right now, and finally, what steps towards peace could look like.Produced by Elena Guthrie, edited by Annie Coloe.For more Warfare content, subscribe to our Warfare newsletter here.If you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today! To download, go to Android or Apple store

Sudan’s journey from independence to revolution

A military coup in 1989 brought Omar al-Bashir to power, until being overthrown by the military in the face of mass protests in 2019. During this time, war has raged in Darfur, South Sudan has gained independence and the Sudanese people demanded a return to civil government. BBC journalist Mohanad Hashim grew up in Khartoum and has reported extensively on the Middle East and Africa. He speaks to Claire Graham about Sudan’s journey from independence to revolution.Producer: Owen McFadden Presenter: Claire Graham

Sudan: Why has RSF leader Hemedti decided to visit African leaders?

This week, pictures of the leader of the paramilitary group the Rapid Support Forces Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, better known as Hemedti, at a genocide memorial in Rwanda and in Kenya hugging President William Ruto might have confused many. That’s because a civil war has raged in Sudan since last April.It began after Hemedti and the head of the armed forces General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan disagreed on the direction the country was going in and the proposed move towards civilian rule. The most contentious issue were plans to include the Rapid Support Forces’s 100,000 troops into the army. With no peace talks in sight, why is the RSF’s leader choosing to meet African leaders instead? Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja has been speaking to the BBC’s Africa correspondent Anne Soy and Suliman Baldo, an expert on Sudan and Executive Director of the Sudan Transparency and Policy Tracker

37. What's happening in Sudan? Everything you need to know and what you can do about it, with Waging Peace

Today’s podcast episode is about a country very close to my heart - Sudan.Like most people in the UK, I grew up without any knowledge of what was happening in Sudan. In my history lessons at school I learnt about the Holocaust and the ethnic cleansing that happened during the second world war, but I learnt nothing about the current genocide in Sudan that continues to this day. It wasn’t until I went to uni and I somehow blagged my way onto a scholarship programme to study Mandarin in Beijing, (a story for another time), but I was sharing a room with a now good friend of mine Anna, who was studying the genocide in Darfur (a region in Sudan) for her degree. She was my first introduction to the situation there. She gave me the context, she told me stories about what she was reading, and I remember lying in bed one night in our room in Beijing, watching a film together called ‘Attack on Darfur’ - a hollywoodised, but pretty accurate depiction of what is happening there.That film still haunts me honestly. This is a warning for anyone who watches it - it was the most heartbreaking film I’ve ever seen, but it served a very important purpose for me. Fast forward about 5 years or so and I found myself in the Calais Jungle refugee camp for the first time, chatting to a guy there who told me he was from Darfur. As he talked about how his village had been burnt to the ground and he showed me the scars on his legs from where bullets had hit him, I thought back to that film and those conversations with Anna, and I was grateful that I knew even just a little bit about what he was telling me. I realised though that I still had a lot to learn.Since then, I’ve met many wonderful Sudanese people along my journey. I’m happy to call some of them my best friends, you guys might remember my conversation with Awad in Episode 2, and I also have a Sudanese foster brother. This episode comes after many conversations with them about the best way to encourage understanding and awareness for the people of Sudan. It aims to be a comprehensive introduction into the history, but through personal stories that make this information accessible to everyone.In it we hear from three wonderful women sharing their knowledge and stories about Sudan. First, Sonja and Maddy, from an amazing organisation called Waging Peace who support the Sudanese community in the UK, then Marwa, who shares her personal experience of living in and leaving Sudan. Her testimony is an honour to be able to include and share with you. To learn more about Waging Peace: https://wagingpeace.info/To check out the products made by our lovely sponsor: https://www.lovewelcomes.org/ (use the code WWT for 10% off at checkout)To support Asylum Speakers by buying a t-shirt or a hoodie: https://theworldwidetribeshop.com/To support Asylum Speakers by donating: https://www.patreon.com/theworldwidetribeTo get in touch: https://www.instagram.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Sudan is the Worst Crisis in the World That Receives The Least Amount of Attention

As we enter 2024, the conflict in Sudan is shaping up to be one of the worst crises in the world. Nearly 7 million people have been displaced, hunger is widespread and a hallmark of this civil war has been ethnic cleansing that may have crossed the threshold to genocide. Despite being a calamitous catastrophe, Sudan has not received much media attention, nor sustained high level engagement by policy makers, particularly in the West.  To begin 2024, I am bringing you my conversation with Kholood Khair, the founder and managing director of Confluence Advisory, a think and do tank formerly based in Khartoum. We kick off discussing her analysis of why conflict broke out in April between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. We then discuss how this conflict evolved to the point where the Rapid Support Forces appear to very much have the upper hand and why international diplomacy has thus far failed to end this civil war.   

Sudan: What is happening in West Dafur?

Witnesses accuse Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces of targeting non-Arabs in Darfur, after capturing the Sudanese army headquarters in West Darfur’s capital El Geneina. We ask a representative of the United Nations refugee agency what is happening in the region. Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has downplayed his country’s expulsion from the Agoa free trade deal with the United States, but is his response mere posturing?And will burning poached wildlife products discourage criminals in Nigeria?

Sudanese slit drum

Neil MacGregor's history of the world as told through things. Throughout this week he is examining the great shifts in the global economy and in imperial power in the 19th century. Today he is with a large wooden drum that the legendary Kitchener of Khartoum brought from Sudan for Queen Victoria, just after his army had killed 11000 Sudanese soldiers in battle. The drum takes Neil back to the extraordinary history that has played out along the Nile and to the great internal power struggles of the period. The writer Dominic Green and the broadcaster Zeinab Badawi reflect on the meaning of the drum and its place in Sudanese history. Producer: Anthony Denselow

What does the fall of Wad Madani mean for the Sudan conflict?

As the situation in Sudan continues to deteriorate, we look back at the week that's been and look ahead to the next few days. Has Sudan's conflict been forgotten and what next for the Sudanese people? Also we remember Shakahola. The Kenyan cult that made headlines around the world. And why is the pan African e-commerce company Jumia, exiting the continent?
